Wölfsnäke
I created a logo and related graphics for Wölfsnäke, a heavy metal covers band. The design is inspired by medieval blackletter, illumination and gothic sculpture, complemented with freeform brushstrokes.

Development
Wölfsnäke play music from a range of metal subgenres. I explored options by plotting well known bands on a spectrum, and creating ideas that would fit on different points on the spectrum. After the band chose the medieval style, I expanded the look by creating a gothic-style sculpture of the ‘beasts’ using Cinema 4D, and creating layouts that used violent brushstrokes.![](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/78f780a78f80467df82cd2468944ee41bde6531ec572055c7e0d176ecdb9062c/Artboard-3.jpg)
